The Local Press.

One of the most important helps to
progress and prosperity is the local
newspaper Its work is quiet, steady,
persistent, and at all times effective.
1t has, in fact done more to build up
the country than any one agency that
could benamed II is a great power,
taken in the aggregate, and its poten-
cy is backed by the moral and pecun-
iary support of its readers.
1t is remarkable fact that the To-
cal press is not properly appreciated,
especially by business men who are
helped to a greater extent by its in
fluence than any other class. 1t is at
all times and in all communities un-
der-valued. The result is that it is
not what it ought to be, and that is,
independent in every sense, and
therefore better able to be u fitting
representative and exponent of the
best thought and aspiration of the To-
cality in which it is published
We have in Alabama number of
papers, published in our interior
towns, that would reflect credit on any
city in the Union. What an immense
amount of practical good, in the way
of advancing the material interests of
the State, they could accomplish if on
| ly given q generous and liberal sup
port by the people among whom they
circulate
Our merchants, our business men,
our capitalists, should take a practi-
cal view of the question involved in
the maintenance and patronage of
their local papers. These papers re-

the charges made against me by Gen.

was foremost in encouraging the late
war. l say to you, my dear Colonel,
that / did all in my power to prevent
the late war and that / never looked
for nor aspired to the post of the Chief
or Executive office OF the Confederate
States. l may say, that the order OF
the War Department to return the
captured flags to the late Confederate
States was violation OF all known
military precedents. You will find in
my history of the late war that there
we've but twenty-six regiments Of reg
ular troops in the army of the North,
and of the total of $50 Confederate
flags captured, it is questionable il
these twenty six regiments captured
fifty. The flags were captured by the
volunteer army of the North, and be-
long to the several States, and have
no right to be in the National Capitol
